The teaching methodology is based on a combination of three types of activities:

• Guided activity: theoretical and practical resolution (analysis) of cases.
• Supervised activity: consisting attending tutorials and exercises with a ruled follow-up.
• Individual autonomous activity: students' personal study (study of basic bibliography, readings, research information, etc.).

A reflective practice methodology is used to promote self-regulation, and effective feedback processes are implemented.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The completion of assessment activities is subject to the provisions set out in this course guide and in the "Policy of the School of Economics and Business on the Detection of Irregularities during Assessment Activities", which regulates the conditions under which assessment tasks are conducted and the procedures applicable in cases where indications of irregularities are detected. Students are encouraged to consult the policy.
